A/N: Hi, everyone, before I start I just want to say that this is an AU. There aren't any legendary heroes in this story. There are still supernatural elements and stuff but it's mostly made up. I will be using elements from the legendary heroes' part, but it won't follow the actual story involved in the Legend of the Legendary Heroes so the Lonesome Devil and the Mad Hero aren't in the story.
.
Also before I start I'd like to thank my Beta reader SpiritBird1A.

The world is light. Clean minds full of possibilities, full of life. Choices made, some good, some bad, but still choices. Good and bad intertwine human nature. Where there is light, darkness exists. I am darkness, a corrupted body limited to only causing disasters and death. I have no choice but to destroy. I am timeless, an entity that never changes and never smiles.
My hands, feet, even my clothes command death. A living thing needs only to touch the smallest of hairs on my head or the tip of my robe to be consumed in illnesses that will lead to death in moments. It is for this reason I am here in the world. Because of my power, I weep for the human race. I stretch out my hand to help in any way possible, but end up destroying everything in my wake.
I have no light, the grass I walk on is dead and animals flee from me. Flowers wither and fall. To protect the humans and stop this endless slaughter, I desperately destroy one of the great hero relics of old. A powerful relic is now gone forever. This angered the higher powers who stood above all of us. They summoned me for trial. I stood in front them; arms bound waiting for my punishment.
With a single word I was banished to the human realm to live a life in the dirt. I was bound by time, death, and human laws. If I could survive this world for many years, my punishment would end and I would return to my previous state, free of human ways.
In the cold of winter, I shiver as I finish up my meal. The human world was misery. Corruption, huger, greed, fear, and hatred rule this world, along with natural elements of weather and time. When I was sent to the human world, I was sent as a child. I was then placed in an orphanage. I had no defense. No chance of living in this cruel world. Even so, I was happier than I had ever been. It didn't show in my eyes, no, they were as blank as they ever were. However I was human now. I could interact with them without killing. For once, another orphan could reach out their hands and touch mine. For once, someone could hit me without dying painfully. For once, I was free. Or so I thought…
I was a monster, a horrible monster. I couldn't escape my fate after all. The higher power had decided to let me keep some of my powers. These powers were reflected in my eyes. These eyes are given to a human when they are born with more power than normal. For some reason or another, children born with these eyes are condemned. Other humans hate them, and for good reason. Once one's power becomes too much, they would lose themselves and destroy everything and everybody around them.
My eyes are different. I was not bound to the human's weak minds. I would not destroy myself if I lost control. This just led to more pain, so I learned to hide myself away. I watched the world with sleepy eyes and did nothing to change my fate. I should just die. After all, it was why I came here in the first place. Banished then left to die in the human world. However, there is some part of me that loves this human connection. That loves the interactions with people. Even if I'm still a monster, I have the power to reach out, even if I cannot grasp anything. If I were to return to how I was before, I wouldn't even have that ability.
Even with that aside, humans can dream. This is what I learned very early on. With my eyes closed, I can disappear from this world and go to a more peaceful place. So I keep living, even as I hate myself. With every breath I curse my existence, curse my inability to let myself die, to let go of the human world, to save them from myself. This is how my story begins.
